Comments:
To give a supervisor absolute control of subordinates pay will be detrimental to the integrity of the work. Employees will be put in a compromising position of doing what the supervisor wants done, right or wrong. There is no way an employee can do their job without being intimidated into doing whatever the supervisor wants. There will always be the threat that the employee’s pay being effected. The supervisor can “punish” the employee on a whim. It also means that if the supervisor doesn’t like you, for whatever reason—he/she controls the employee’s pay and should be indebted to the supervisor becoming nothing more than a servant. When supervisor has the power to give raises on performance, it will probably not happen…it becomes a popularity and “yes man” game. If you think this new system will get rid of dead weight, it won’t. Most of the dead weight employees are the “ass kissers”. I personally don’t think I will be the one hurt…but I know of someone who is a hard, accurate worker that the supervisor acts cold to. She is a low grade, making a very small amount of money to begin with, and the supervisor doesn’t give her credit for all she does. I am not in favor of this new system, even though it is similar to some state systems…it has too much wrong with it. The system we are currently using is not broke…don’t try to fix it.
